I see songs not as a commodity used up when the album goes off the charts, which is often the case with pop songs. I see them as a body of work. Life should be breathed into them.

I write the music, produce it and the band plays within the parameters that I set.

I'm not much of a family man. I'm just not that into it. I love kids, I adore them, but I don't want to live my life for them.

I come from a family of losers, and I've rejected my family as something I don't want to be like.

I think I'm a focus for international attention.

I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear I like my toast done on one side.

Be yourself, no matter what they say.
